The land has low rolling hills with short drainages and is fringed by a thick belt mangroves.

Ngerchelong extends north from the narrowest part of the neck on Babeldaob where it borders Ngaraard.

[6] The modern villages of Ollei (north), Mengellang (southwest) and Ngerbau (east coast) are connected by a road now partially paved.

Interspersed with these kitchen gardens are stands of agroforest which include coconut, and betelnut, breadfruit, almond trees, and banana plants.

In and around many of the uninhabited villages are stands of coconut and betelnut palms, and occasionally patches of irregularly attended taro swamp gardens.

[6] In addition, Ngerchelong includes two small islands, Ngerkeklau and Ngerechur, located one and two kilometers north of Babeldaob.

The traditional villages represent important symbols giving identity to families, clans, and regions.

Traditional Palaun religion regarded these stone monoliths as sacred prayer ground.
